Plain Dealer photoJamal Lewis of the Cleveland Browns is still battling a hamstring injury as the Browns continued to prepare today for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.BEREA, Ohio - Browns running back Jamal Lewis, kicker Phil Dawson and guard Floyd Womack were all idle during today's practice and are doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Running back James Davis, who participated fully on Thursday, did not practice Friday and is questionable with a shoulder injury. Doubtful means there's a 25% chance of playing and questionable means 50%.

Coach Eric Mangini held out hope that some or all of the injured guys might play.

"I think there's a chance for all the guys,'' said Mangini. "You want to give them a chance to go to the end.''

Harrison also replaced Lewis last week in Baltimore, rushing for 52 yards on 16 carries (3.3-yard average), with a long gain of 17 against the league's top-ranked rush defense. The Bengals have the league's 11th-ranked run defense. Cundiff, who was signed last Saturday, made his lone, 29-yard field goal attempt.

Two other injured players, defensive ends Corey Williams (knee) and Kenyon Coleman (groin) were limited Friday and both are questionable, but Mangini said he felt good about their progress. Also questionable are guards Eric Steinbach (knee) and Rex Hadnot (knkee). Both were limited.

For the Bengals, running back Cedric Benson (knee) and linebacker Rey Maualuga (knee) are both probable and fully participated Friday. .
